Sweetie, let me tell you a story
A little fairytale just for you
About a princess and her daddy

She was flyin' on her magic carpet
A little stardust in her hair
Till her daddy took the lead

And he said follow me up to the moon
I promise we will be there soon
And we can dance and play all through the night

And she laughed every time she cried
She could feel you lift her up
All your love she has inside

She laughed throughout her life
She could hear the words you said
As you tucked her into bed, goodnight

Baby, you'll grow up in a heartbeat
The boys will stand in line
All waitin' just for you

And I know you'll be home past midnight
Just creepin' up the stairs
But I'll be waitin' there for you

One thing you should always know
Is I will always love you so
You will always be my little girl

And she laughed every time she cried
She could feel you lift her up
All your love she has inside

She laughed throughout her life
She could hear the words you said
As you tucked her into bed, goodnight

Take it from me, I'm a daddy's girl too
His whole world stops when I walk into the room
There's no greater love and there's no in between

Now she laughs every time she cries
She can feel you lift her up
All your love she has, she has inside

She laughed throughout her life
She could hear the words you said
As you tucked her into bed, goodnight

Goodnight my angel, goodnight my darlin'
Goodnight, goodnight my love, goodnight
